What is a prerequisite?

enrollment in a desired class. Prerequisites might include other courses, a minimum

GPA, or upper-division standing.

22

Why do I have to take a prerequisite course in JumpStart?

The JumpStart programs are designed to be as inclusive as possible. Prerequisite courses

are included in the programs to ensure all students have a solid foundation and are not

excluded due to a lack of required test scores. Exceptions to prerequisite courses may be

made on a case-by-case basis.

Will 100 level courses count toward my degree?

At Blue Ridge, English 100 and Math 100 are offered for college credit. Students can use

these three credit hours as electives toward a degree at BRCTC. Students who plan to

transfer must check with the receiving institution to determine if and how these courses

may transfer to another school.

How/will my classes transfer from Blue Ridge CTC to another school?

JumpStart programs are designed so that students complete approximately the first

year of a Blue Ridge CTC associate degree. Students who intend to transfer to another

institution must be aware of the specific program requirements at the receiving

institution. Students should contact the receiving institution to ask about transferability

of coursework. The College also has a number of transfer agreements already in place

and available for review on the Blue Ridge website.

What is the WV CORE Transfer Agreement?

The WV CORE Transfer Agreement ensures that students who transfer from an in-state,

public college or university to another in-state, public college or university receives

credit for specified general studies courses at the receiving institution. Many of the

JumpStart courses are included in this agreement.

To read the full agreement and see a list of the CORE courses specified, please visit:

www.BlueRidgeCTC.edu.

Who do I contact to see if/how my classes transfer?

Students who plan to transfer should contact the receiving institution to confirm how

classes and credits will transfer to another school.

23

How does changing my degree program affect my credits?

Every program, regardless of school, has curriculum specific to each different major. This

curriculum provides an exact list of courses required for that degree. Each program is

unique. Students who change degree programs after completing courses may find they

have taken courses that do not apply to the new path.

What is an articulation agreement?

Articulation agreements, also called transfer agreements, are agreements between two

schools that outline what courses students may transfer with an associate degree. Blue

Ridge CTC has a number of agreements in place to ensure students can easily transition

after graduation.

Where can I see current articulation agreements that are already in place?

A full list of transfer agreements is available on the Blue Ridge CTC website.

The College actively adds new agreements, so students should check back often.
